Do enamel and dentine caries at 5 years of age predict caries development in newly erupted teeth? A prospective longitudinal study.
Conclusion: Children with caries in primary teeth continued to be caries risk children during the mixed dentition period. In addition to dentine caries experience, enamel caries in primary teeth was a predictor for caries development in young permanent teeth and may be used to improve the caries risk assessment.
